Hospice is a program that cares for patients with a limited life expectancy because of acute, chronic, or terminal illness.
Terminal illness which is defined as an incurable and irreversible disease that has been medically confirmed and will, within reasonable medical judgement result in the death of a patient.
We are approaching a day when instead of having a terminal illness, uncured cancer patients will lead productive lives as they live with a chronic disease.
